 We used the Apatosaurus skeleton drawing by Takashi Oda for this  teaching material, and he tried to this workshop and added the reconstruction drawing!















 Lecture on dinosaurs and paleo animals with paleontologists or students.

This year, I did workshops more than 15 times and, several lectures and presentations.
Talking with various people on paleontology is very important for my activities.
